Just to avoid thread drift, if we want to discuss failed government projects, perhaps someone could start a separate thread for that. -

Funnily enough I ordered one of those USB rechargeable camping showers 2 days ago! To get warm water for a shower I put together a Heath Robinson arrangement using stuff I had around, two spare 20W, 12V silicone rubber heating mats (I had to buy four when I only needed one for a bag warmer), a 6A, 12V power supply and a couple of 5 litre lidded buckets. This worked very well, the heaters were plonked into each bucket and left on all night. By the morning we had two buckets of water at around 38°C, which was fine for a sort of cup-over-head type shower. we could have filled them from the boiling water tap, as the boiler for that holds 20 litres, but that would have meant carrying the buckets upstairs, which seemed like too much effort first thing in the morning! The bucket warming experiment, before I set them up properly upstairs: -
Dont mention the ferries! And definitely dont mention port issues. Sadly proves my point yet again. -
Remarkably yes. Now compare that with trying to procure a couple of ferries.

I couldnt find the depth. Thanks. They seem to be well thought of. Expensive as you observe. I think i need to stick to UPVC for this. Cant have timber as ill spend my life maintaining them here.
